We visited the location on the MIT campus (it’s on the second floor of the student center and is only open on weekdays). Wow! So many delicious options that are all gluten free (with one exception). The arepas were fantastic! Order two if you’re hungry! They take a little longer than the bowls so if you’re in a hurry opt for the bowls instead. One in our family has celiac and didn’t have any issues. We’ll definitely go back!Dietary restrictions: All of the items (with one exception) are gluten free. They take special precautions against cross contamination and one of us who has celiac disease had no issues.

I have gone to Aeronaut numerous times but this was the first time I have tried Carolicious. It was SO good. I went with the Pork and Pico Arepa and the hot sauce had some great flavor. The food came out very quickly and was very warm. Must try!

We came here after climbing at the Bouldering Project. You order and pay at the counter and they'll give you a number to bring your food. ($$) The beef and pork arepas are awesome. (5/5) The dough is sweet and dry and toasty. The beef and pork are tender and pairs with the mozz and black beans. I wish I had more of the hot sauce and green sauce. A great combination of sweet and spicy. lt's the perfect post-workout/lunch meal if you're trying to get your protein intake and still want your carbs! We also ordered the cheesy bread (not pictured). It comes with more of the avocado-herb based sauce. When I'm in the neighborhood, I'll be back! The space is OK, (4/5) it was pretty dark for a bright Saturday afternoon. But I'm sure the place is awesome in the evening. You can pick up board games or cards and a beer from Aeronaut.

Fantastic arepas, love that they have them at Aeronaut-- it's the perfect size for when you're drinking and need a little food :)

Dining method: Counter-serve (inside of Aeronaut brewery) Item(s) ordered: Pabelon Vegan arepa Speed: Was prepped immediately and was done within 2 minutes Value: at about $10 (including tip) for this arepa, I'd say the price was worth the product The Review: YES, is all I can say. With vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options galore (including desserts), Carolicious is awesome. Especially in a brewery, where wheat is the name of the game, I didn't feel left out for a second at Carolicious Aeronaut. The arepa and all its fixings were divine. I will absolutely be back for more.

Cool spot. They are located inside Aeronaut Brewery. The Sitting areas are outside and inside. I got the pabellón beef arepa. It was good but the portion felt a bit small for the price. Almost $13. All in all, good service and what I got was good. Not many choices on the menu and drinks were purchased at the brewery.

Seriously insanely good arepas. Probably the most reasonable prices I've seen in the area as well. Very filling and tasty. The bowls have plantains at the bottom which I was concerned about, but were delicious. The pico was very flavorful and fresh. Generous servings of meat (which was very flavorful). Also, the restaurant is connected to a beautiful brewery and chocolate maker, so you can grab a beer with your meal. The lady who prepared our food was also very sweet. This would be on my must try list for any Boston trip in the future, wish I lived by something like this!
Seriously insanely good arepas. Very friendly service. Really cool space - both indoor and outdoor. We decided to sit outside and we were given a number and it was delivered to us outside. Two arepas came to around 20 dollars. Both came with a delicious spicy salsa like sauce. I looove Venezuelan food and this place hits every mark. Definitely worth a visit!

It's inside Aeronaut brewery. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I got the Pelua arepa which was stuffed with meat and cheese. It's absolutely going to be a messy bite.

Carolicious is one of the stands at the Aeronaut Brewing food hall here in Somerville. The key offerings are arepas (pockets made from a bed of maize-based flour and stuffed with the fillings of your choice), bowls, and tequeños (sweet little dough sticks). I've had my share of arepas before - and I've even made them during Covid thanks to a Yelp zoominar (yelp.com/biz/yelp-virtua… ). So I was curious to see how the ones here looked. At $11 for a fist-sized serving, my pabellon (spicy beef, black beans plantains, mozzarella cheese) arepa wasn't cheap, but it was still a compact burst of meaty, fruity, and savory flavors all in one. A nice snack to go alongside a beer from Aeronaut but not necessarily meal-sized unless you have a modest appetite. Still, a most welcome choice to have here at this food court since the ingredients are real and recognizable. Sure beats fried foods or the ubiquitous burgers and pizze.

This food was simply mind blowing. Some of the best food I've had anywhere. Can't say enough. Had a chicken bowl and shared beef arepas. Wow. Worth a trip from anywhere.

Tough to find and not a lot of street parking. But the food is worth the slight inconvenience.We had the pork arepa and pork bowl. The black beans go well with the plantains and sauce. Pork is slow cooked and a mouthful of deliciousness.Take a trip to Latin America via Carolicious.
